Les cryptoactifs, innovations sociales et institution
Raphaël Didier, Yamina Tadjeddine · Management international · 2024
This article proposes to analyze cryptoassets as social innovations through their capacity to respond to new polymorphic needs and to transform the structuring institutions of the economic system. The framework of the School of Regulation defines five structural forms: money, competition, the wage relation, the state and the international order. The institution originally targeted by cryptoassets is money, responding to new needs (aspiration to currencies freed from states and banks, search for anonymity, ease for international transfers and credible alternative to the dollar). Cryptoassets also satisfy the new needs arising from global digital capitalism (the creation of communities, the valuation of digital goods and services, the co-production of services through the network).
